SSG line of hardware appliances

Hi Sophos,

You have released a new patch a few days a go for our UTM's. The patch only states that it "Adds support for new SSG line of hardware appliances".

Where are the details of these devices, we looking to purchase a device for our organisation and I have known for sometime Sophos are releasing new appliances. However, where can we learn or look at the specs of these new devices?

We are excited to purchase a new device, but don't want to be caught out with an old previous model.

Thank you in advance.

Hey William,
they still don't put enough ram in these things. Still talk about 1gb minimum and 2gb recommended.
I would suggest 2gb minimum and 4 to 8gb recommended.
20gb disk minimum, 40gb recommended again should be 60-80gb minimum and 120gb recommended.
It is not as if memory is expensive and on one of these devices it might add $20-40.
Not a deal breaker, in fact probably a deal maker.

IAN,
2 gig minimum isn't enough..look at what happens with all of the utm devices from 1xx to 2xx...ram outage issues. here's what needs to be in all devices:

1xx 4 gigs
2xx 8 gigs
3xx 16 gigs
4xx 32 gigs
5xx 64 gigs
6xx 96+ gigs

There's more reasons that i can't divulge than just the ram usage per user and the processes..some of the more annoying bugs are caused by ram constraints as well....frankly i htink the money spent on the ssd's would have been better spent on more ram..ssd's are really needed until maybe the 4xx and above series.
